Hello all; Happy Holidays. New to the forum and would like some advise. Have been a LC fan for many years, and am finally seriously considering taking the plunge. I have some questions I'd like to post to you experts.
I know the LC is pretty much at the top of the heap, but for all but a small percentage of needs, I'm wondering if another vehicle would suffice. I'd like to think the LC is one of the few over-engineered vehicles out there (certainly of high appeal to me) and will likely last longer and take more than I'm ever going to need, but am thinking the 4-Runner is about 90% the vehicle (for all but the most hardcore offload use(?)) at half the cost. Am I inline here or am I missing something? Also, what about the GX460 - is this more Land Cruiser or 4-Runner (chassis, quality, capability, etc)?
Really appreciate the input.
Joe
